Pamela Port, BACP

Pamela Port is an integrative psychotherapist with 18 years of clinical experience who draws on multiple modalities to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. She believes that no single approach fits everyone and blends methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic perspectives, somatic approaches, and trauma-focused interventions to address a wide range of presenting issues.

Over the course of her career she has worked in private practice with people dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and complex trauma. Pamela has additional training in eating disorders and addictions and attends to related concerns including body image, codependency, dissociation, and issues arising from domestic violence, divorce, or separation.

Her practice is informed by an interest in neuroscience and neurobiology and she integrates psychoeducation and body-based methods such as sensorimotor and somatic techniques to help people manage anxiety and depression and to process traumatic memories held in the body. Pamela emphasizes the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance and aims to combine warmth, empathy, and respect with gentle challenge to unhelpful beliefs and patterns.

Pamela holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with adults on concerns that include stress, relationships, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, addictions, LGBT matters, family and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also focuses on areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, panic disorder, narcissism-related patterns, and veteran and armed forces related matters.
